Practice Areas and Legal Experience
As a Las Vegas divorce lawyer, Jillian assists clients through every stage of the dissolution process. Nevada is a no-fault divorce state with unique community property laws and relatively streamlined procedures, but navigating these requirements still demands an attorney who understands both the technical legal framework and the emotional weight these cases carry. Whether clients are pursuing an uncontested divorce in Nevada or facing a contested divorce with complex disputes over asset division, Jillian approaches each matter with the thoroughness it deserves.
Family law encompasses far more than divorce proceedings. Jillian dedicates significant attention to child custody matters, understanding that determinations about legal custody, physical custody, and parenting time affect families for years to come. Nevada courts prioritize the best interests of the child in all custody decisions, whether establishing initial joint custody arrangements or pursuing custody modification when circumstances change. Jillian works diligently to present compelling cases that protect her clients’ parental rights while keeping children’s wellbeing at the forefront.
Our firm recognizes that both mothers and fathers deserve strong legal representation. Jillian advocates for father’s rights and mother’s rights with equal dedication, ensuring that each parent’s relationship with their children receives the attention and protection it deserves under Nevada law. From relocation cases to emergency custody situations, she handles the full spectrum of custody disputes.
Child support and spousal support cases require careful analysis of financial circumstances, employment situations, and the specific needs of family members. Jillian helps clients understand how Nevada calculates child support using the state’s tiered percentage formula and advocates for fair alimony arrangements whether her client is seeking support or responding to a support request. These financial determinations significantly impact families’ stability, making skilled legal representation essential for child support modifications and enforcement matters.
Specialized Family Law Services
Jillian handles a wide range of specialized family law matters that require particular expertise and sensitivity. High asset divorce cases involving business valuations, retirement account divisions, real estate holdings, and complex investment portfolios demand meticulous attention to Nevada community property laws. Understanding how separate property and marital property are distinguished under Nevada law can significantly impact the outcome of property division.
Our proximity to Nellis Air Force Base means Gastelum Attorneys regularly assists military families with their unique legal needs. Military divorce cases involve special considerations including the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, military pension division under the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act, and custody arrangements that accommodate deployment schedules and potential relocations.
Jillian also assists clients with prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements, helping couples establish clear financial expectations before or during marriage. Additionally, she handles paternity establishment cases, domestic violence protection orders, and restraining order matters with the urgency and discretion these sensitive situations require.
